Export-restricted RSA encryption source code printed on a T-shirt made the T-shirt an export-restricted munition, as a freedom of speech protest against U.S. encryption export restrictions . [1] Changes in the export law means that it is no longer illegal to export this T-shirt from the U.S., or for U.S. citizens to show it to foreigners.
DeCSS. A fragment of the DeCSS code, which can be used by a computer to circumvent a DVD's copy protection. DeCSS is one of the first free computer programs capable of decrypting content on a commercially produced DVD video disc. Before the release of DeCSS, free and open source operating systems (such as BSD and Linux) could not play encrypted ...
VeraCrypt. VeraCrypt is a free and open-source utility for on-the-fly encryption (OTFE). [ 5] The software can create a virtual encrypted disk that works just like a regular disk but within a file. It can also encrypt a partition [ 6] or (in Windows) the entire storage device with pre-boot authentication.
XOR cipher. In cryptography, the simple XOR cipher is a type of additive cipher, [ 1] an encryption algorithm that operates according to the principles: A 0 = A, A A = 0, A B = B A, (A B) C = A (B C), (B A) A = B 0 = B, For example where denotes the exclusive disjunction (XOR) operation. [ 2] This operation is sometimes called modulus 2 ...
Comparison of implementations of message authentication code (MAC) algorithms. A MAC is a short piece of information used to authenticate a message—in other words, to confirm that the message came from the stated sender (its authenticity) and has not been changed in transit (its integrity). Implementation. HMAC - MD5. HMAC- SHA1.
Argon2. Argon2 is a key derivation function that was selected as the winner of the 2015 Password Hashing Competition. [ 1][ 2] It was designed by Alex Biryukov, Daniel Dinu, and Dmitry Khovratovich from the University of Luxembourg. [ 3]
crypt (Unix) In Unix computing, crypt or enigma is a utility program used for encryption. Due to the ease of breaking it, it is considered to be obsolete. The program is usually used as a filter, and it has traditionally been implemented using a "rotor machine" algorithm based on the Enigma machine. It is considered to be cryptographically far ...
Cryptography law. Cryptography is the practice and study of encrypting information, or in other words, securing information from unauthorized access. There are many different cryptography laws in different nations. Some countries prohibit the export of cryptography software and/or encryption algorithms or cryptoanalysis methods.
